Chapter 150: God's Knight Day 4 I want to take someone to see Rossi...
God's Knight Day 4:
Wendy didn't react much to Shamrock's exit, and even sighed, "It's finally over!"... This cutscene contains absolutely no information at all!
After all this talk about gods, there are no gods in the Don't Starve universe! Only shadow power!
Watching the other party leave, Shanks also looked at Wendy: "He ran away... Then I have to ask Wendy to take me back."
After all, this is the Navy Headquarters... He came here without saying hello, so it would be best if he left before anyone noticed.
Wendy nodded, took out her teleportation wand and sent the person back quickly. However, before she politely said "I'm leaving" and was about to use the wooden sign to go back, Shanks called her and asked some questions.
"Are you sure that Mary Geoise's Yim is your uncle Maxwell?"
"Well, at least part of it is him... After all, he has merged with his assistant Charlie now." Wendy said in an affirmative tone.
"You are so sure, do you have any evidence?"
Wendy thought for a moment and began to count. "My uncle Maxwell can use the Tome of Shadows, create shadow puppets, and cast shadow spells. He's always sat on the Nightmare Throne. He was once called the King of the World, but that was only because he was considered a former king."
What Wendy said was simply Maxwell's character setting, but Shanks was stunned - because it did match the information that Im had currently revealed.
Shanks was still asking, "So his original name should be Maxwell Carter?"
"No, his original name was William Carter," Wendy sighed. "My uncle was just a naive, poor boy with a dream. He wanted to become a world-renowned magician... but after mastering the power of shadows, he gradually lost himself."
Wendy was speaking so coherently and confidently—yes! That's the setting for Don't Starve! She'd played Don't Starve for so many hours and had been watching the PVs and settings released by Corey. Wasn't she clear on this yet?!
Of course, to Shanks, it sounded like...
So...Imu is most likely Wendy's uncle, but his power later eroded his personality, changing him into the Im he is today? - Shanks pondered.
The king... the Celestial Dragons of Marijoa were indeed originally descendants of the 20 kings who formed the World Government 800 years ago... So, Im was one of those kings back then, and somehow managed to survive for 800 years? Perhaps it was the influence of the shadow power Wendy mentioned?
But according to Wendy, Im's original name was "William Carter," and he wasn't a king at first, nor did he have any power... Could it be that he seized Wendy's father's authority? That's how Wendy would later reclaim the crown.
No wonder Shamrock called Wendy "little princess".
Shadow Tome, Shadow Puppet, Shadow Spell... these are all comparable to Im's abilities. Shadow Puppet represents the Five Elders and the Knights of God, right?
Shanks sorted out the logic and compared the contents with the information he knew, and it all seemed right.
He also felt that he understood why some of Wendy's abilities seemed useless and just for show - because her uncle wanted to be a magician, and she wanted to "save" her uncle so much, she must have had a good relationship with her former uncle and was also influenced by him, right?
But there is still a problem...
"What about the Moon Camp and the Shadow Camp you mentioned?" Shanks was confused.
He also noticed the little shadows beside Wendy that reacted to Im's power...
"The Moon and Shadow factions are opposites, and their abilities are mutually exclusive. Now that I've completed the Celestial Quest, I belong to the Moon faction! Joining will grant you the power of light, protection, and nature!" Wendy said, showing Abigail beside her. "Look, my current Abigail belongs to the Moon faction, and her skills are related to that."
Shanks suddenly realized - I see... Does that mean that after choosing a side, Wendy will gain new power? This is why she was able to kill the Five Elders.
"What about the Shadow camp?" Shanks asked.
"The shadow is nightmare, void, and fear."
"So... Wendy, you could have chosen that side, right?" Shanks said with a smile. "What changed your mind?"
"I've thought about opening a Shadow faction, too," Wendy said, true to her honest nature. "But I think the Celestial faction is more fun, and I got the clues for it first. Plus, the Shadow faction starts the world in eternal night, which I don't like."
Although some of the words Wendy says may be new and difficult to understand, we can infer a few based on the existing clues and context.
So, Shanks translated the other party's words - Wendy had originally thought about whether to join Im's side or choose to fight against them, but later she chose to fight against them based on her own preferences, and once she chose that side, the world would fall into an unshakable dark state.
"Have you told Hawkeye about this?" Shanks asked again.
Wendy nodded, "I told you, Mihawk accompanied me on various main quests, so of course I told him everything. Mihawk also thought the Celestial quest was better."
In fact, after listening to what was said, Hawkeye came to a similar conclusion as Shanks. Then, when Wendy was thinking about whether to change camps and start the Shadow main line after completing the Celestial main line, he seriously stopped her. After all, in Hawkeye's opinion, it seemed that Wendy was thinking about becoming the next Im before she even sat on the throne.
Others, after slaying the dragon, eventually become the evil dragon, but this person is thinking about becoming the evil dragon before he even slays the dragon.
In order to stop it, Hawkeye once again resorted to the method of running away from home, but Wendy said seriously that if she really opened the shadow line, Hawkeye would not be able to leave and would have to continue to accompany her, even if he didn't want to.
That night, Hawkeye was thinking a lot and couldn't fall asleep - Wendy, on the other hand, slept soundly next to him. When she woke up the next day, she told Hawkeye that she felt it was very troublesome to fight the shadow line, so she decided to just fight the celestial line.
Hawkeye, who had not slept all night, really wanted to run away from home on the spot, but Wendy was afraid that he would really run away from home, so she followed him closely and watched him all day. Hawkeye silently calmed down and his anger subsided. In the end, he had to promise that he would not leave easily before Wendy stopped following him.
——But I won’t tell Shanks about this unless he asks.
Shanks didn't intend to ask this, but talked about something else: "So when are you going to rescue your uncle?"
"We need to get ready first and wait for Lao Bei's experiment to be completed." Wendy said, clicking the wooden sign to teleport and waving at him. "I still have to see Luo, so I'll leave first. If you need anything, just shout at me in the newspaper next time! Anyway, I, Mu Pai, will be here quickly!"
Wendy finished speaking and the countdown ended, teleporting away.
"You're running so fast..." Shanks sighed, the smile on his face faded a little, but his expression remained gentle. He murmured as if talking to himself, "Light, protection and nature..."
If Wendy is determined to establish a camp with this goal, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to become the "Leader of the Knights".
"Have you eloped yet, Boss?" Beckman came over and complained, looking around. "Is Wendy gone yet?"
"Hey, Baker." Shanks said with a smile, "How about you become the vice-captain?"
Beckman: “……?”
What did you dream about?
***
Wendy didn't know that her words made the twins think a lot about her and were deeply shocked. After all, she was just talking about the background setting of the game.
The main reason she gave up the shadow line was that she didn't like the eternal night, even though she had the Crown of Enlightenment that provided permanent illumination without losing durability.
She returned to the Navy Headquarters again, and then ran to the Marshal's office to find Zhan Guo, which scared him.
"Wendy..." Looking at Wendy who greeted him casually, Zhan Guo felt complicated, and it showed on his face.
Even though Wendy had done so much, Zhan Guo himself did not dislike her. Especially as a Marine Admiral, the information leaked from above also made him roughly understand the close relationship between Wendy and Mary Geoise...
"What's wrong? What do you want from me this time?" asked Zhan Guo.
Wendy openly explained her background: "I want to take someone to see Rocinante, is that okay?"
Zhan Guo couldn't help but be stunned.
***
The person Wendy was talking about was naturally Luo.
It has been many years since we last saw each other. Even though we last saw each other on a video call, meeting in person is always different.
As soon as Wendy saw someone, she curiously went up to him and circled around him, exclaiming, "Wow! Luo, you've grown a lot taller! And you've become more mature!"
Luo was a little bewildered at first, but then he came to his senses, stood there, and said, "Miss Wendy, you too."
Although it seems that she has only become more mature in appearance...but being able to maintain this personality means that she is living a more comfortable life, and she reluctantly acknowledges Hawkeye's existence.
After not seeing each other for many years, Luo still felt a little restrained when he saw her in person - not only because Wendy had grown up, but also because she had changed a lot from the distant image in his memory. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
But Wendy didn't care about that. She directly dragged him to the Navy's cemetery and talked to him there: "Uncle Zhan Guo and I have already agreed that I can take you to see Rosinante."
"Admiral?"
"Well, he is Rosinante's adoptive father."
“… Yeah, I understand.”
Luo's emotions were complicated, even chaotic. He hadn't really wanted to come at this time, but Wendy had persuaded him last time and he'd impulsively agreed, and he couldn't back out. He'd come alone, feeling awkward, and before he could even say a few words, Wendy had dragged him along...
“But I haven’t accomplished anything yet…”
"You've already cured yourself!" Wendy said, turning to look at him with a look of delight. "That's all Rosinante cares about, right?"
She was simply narrating - after all, she didn't know the secrets of Dressrosa, the Navy's undercover missions, and so on. Her impression was that during the mission, especially at the end, Rossinante was only there trying to find a way to treat Law, and he even asked her if there was any way.
Of course, she can only add blood, not lifespan.
"..." Luo was stunned when he heard it, and then he hummed and became quiet. He no longer had the hesitant reaction just now and followed her obediently.
Wendy pulled him all the way over and stood in front of Rosinante's grave. Then, while Rosinante was staring down at the tombstone in a daze, Wendy looked around, trying to find the ghost.
I'll see if I can trigger a little scare, or some other ghostly thing. If not, I'll try again at night! There must be some kind of mechanism! — Wendy clenched her fists, thinking confidently.
And this time, she did find something different.
But it wasn't a small shock, it was...
The blond young man sitting on his own tombstone was dressed and looked the same as on the day he died, with a smile on his face, but his transparent figure was so faint that it almost disappeared.
He stood up and put his hand on Luo's head, as if to comfort him.
Wendy was stunned for a moment, then took a step forward.
The other person seemed to have noticed something and looked at her, the curve of his mouth became a little bigger. He put his index finger between his lips and made a hushing gesture to her. Then he walked up to her and when she stretched out her hand, he opened his arms and hugged her.
There is no sense of substance and it disappears at the touch of a finger.
Wendy looked down and saw the mourning glory scattered all over the ground... and a broken stone with a crack in it that was shining with crystal light.
——It was the pure splendor that she had been talking about but didn't know where to find.

Author's note: The Don't Starve setting isn't something I made up! It's real! The symbols of the two major factions are real too! [Sunglasses]
And yes, Wendy from the IF Shadow line will also have it [Rabbit]
And pure brilliance. I've had this in mind for a long time, and the plot was already planned. I finally got to write about it today! (Fist pump)
PS: The illustration shows the two big names competing against each other, the Redhead Twins and the Wendy and Abby Twins, or the Rossello and Wendy Twins. By the end of this week, judging by the vote count, it seems like it's going to be a two-way race.
